You can bet that the Republicans are working harder to find some poop on Howard Dean than they are on finding WMD right now.
Yeah, this came out as a memo to all of us about 2 months ago. Our fearless leader issued it over the RPAN (Republican Party Announcement Network), he said that instead of continuing the investigation into an Iraqi weapons plan, that we should all try and dig up some dirt on that ne'er do well Dean. He wrapped it up quite nicely too, thanking us all for keeping the masses downtrodden and telling us all to "keep up the good work" by using our vast financial resources to buy our ways around the law.
WMD investigation teams != GOP re-election teams.
Fucking moron.
This was bound to happen. The idea of a genuinely free ride flies in the face of thousands of years of economic theory. Free software is done "for the love of the game" (please no technicality trolls... I'm just trying to illustrate a point here).
The notion of a free product that is in many ways superior to its commercial counterpart scares alot of people. It's frightening to any business minded person that there is a large wealth of talented developers who are making an amazing product and not only distributing it free of charge, but giving away the source as well. To a business person, this is simply nonsense, but to those of us who beleive in creating something useful and of high quality "just for fun", it's not only a hobby, but a cause.
It was only a matter of time before this ideology was challenged. This is that challenge. Fortunate, they are standing on a pretty weak argument, and up against an 800lb gorilla.
Is it just me, or are we all so interested to read these documents only because they are "forbidden". I mean clearly, it's a good thing to know about the gross insecurities of an electronic voting system, but the rush to mirror and distribute this information seems to be like doing something just because Mommy said you can't.
Reminds me of, "Ralphie, what is your fascination with Daddy's forbidden closet of mystery?"
It's entertaining to see that given all the "features" in Outlook, the best e-mail client ever is still Pine. I can get my e-mail anywhere there is an ssh client (or telnet if I'm feeling ballsy). There is no excuse for needing anything more than a 486 to get e-mail.
Some day, it's bound to happen, there will be some garbled pile of shit in my inbox sent from one of these Outlook clients, well, kids, (D)elete, e(X)punge, (Y)es, I'm sure. Done and done.
Phase 1: Create an e-mail format only your program can read.
Phase 2: Use that leverage to force organizations using the products of your competitors (e.g. Lotus) to switch to your product.
Phase 3: PROFIT!
I can put you in Queens on the night of the robbery.
Really. I live in Queens. Did you figure that out yourself or do you have a team of monkeys working on this around the clock?
PHP is a useful language, and it certainly has its place. But for large enterprise applications, it can't hold a candle to J2EE, in terms of speed and scalability. If you drop some serious bank on an application server, you'll know what you're paying for.

Well, as slim on technical details as this article is, here's what I've got:
Another key building block is the querying capabilities of Microsoft's SQL Server relational database, according to Microsoft. WinFS also will incorporate the data labeling capabilities of Extensible Markup Language (XML), Muglia said.
This seems like way too much overhead for a problem that can be solved with some clever indexing.
"Today, applications encapsulate data. In the future, applications will be able to read and write data created with multiple applications," Muglia said. "Information opens up dramatically."
Applications sharing data? Can't that happen when you don't use a proprietary file format for say, an Office suite?
They're blowing some serious smoke up the typical PHB ass, but then again, when aren't they?
